Activity Problem 8.3 This problem asks you to compare the finite current element approximation to the infinite straight wire approximation for the isolated segment of wire carrying current of 2A to the right. The wire is 8cm long. Note, the finite current approximation will be a fairly poor approximation to the actual field which would be found by integration; the infinite wire field is a better approximation in this case. (a)Compute the magnetic field at point C a distance 2cm for the center of the wire using the infinite straight wire approximation. (b)Compute the magnetic field at point C using the finite current element approximation. (c)Compute the magnetic field at point E a distance 2cm from the end using the finite current element approximation.

(a) B = 2 x 10⁻⁵T

(b) B = 1.94 x 10⁻⁵T

Explanation: A magnetic field due to a current passing through a straight wire is calculated using the Biot-Savart Law:

$dB=\frac{\mu_{0}}{4.\pi} \frac{IdLXR}{r^{3}}$

where

dL is current length element

$\mu_{0}$ is permeability of free space ( $4.\pi.10^{-7}$ T.m/A)

(a) For a infinite straight wire:

$B=\frac{\mu_{0}I}{2.\pi.R}$

$B=\frac{4.\pi.10^{-7}.2}{2.\pi.2.10^{-2}}$

B = 2x10⁻⁵T

For an infinite, long and straight wire, magnetic field is 2x10⁻⁵T.

(b) For a finite wire:

$B=\frac{\mu_{0}I}{2.\pi.R}\frac{L}{\sqrt{L^{2}+R^{2}} }$

$B=\frac{4.\pi.10^{-7}.2}{2.\pi.2.10^{-2}} \frac{8.10^{-2}}{\sqrt{(8.10^{-2})^{2}+(2.10^{-2})^{2}} }$

B = 1.94x10⁻⁵T

The magnetic field for a finite wire in the same conditionsas infinite wire is 1.94x10⁻⁵T.

$B=\frac{\mu_{0}I}{4.\pi.L\sqrt{2} }$

$B=\frac{4.\pi.10^{-7}.2}{4.\pi.8.10^{-2}\sqrt{2} }$

B = 0.18x10⁻⁵T

At a point at the end, magnetic field is 1.8x10⁻⁴T.

Acetic acid /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named ethanoic acid /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called glacial acetic acid. vinegar is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to polyvinyl acetate and cellulose acetate. it is classified as a weak acid since it only partially dissociates in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7 3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366 chemblchembl539 chemspider171 drugbankdb03166 echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260 (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010 meshacetic+acidpubchem cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4) key: qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n smilescc(o)=o
